Cutting Edge
Technology™, using aluminum
oxide and ceramics, has just made life easier for the winning professional
team!

Advances in technology have resulted in superb,
high strength, custom designed, aluminum oxide instrument
sharpening stones of the highest grit (the greatest number of particles
per square inch) and the greatest density to give the sharpest cutting
edge possible! Our CET stones are
engineered to have channels that consistently and accurately reshape and
resharpen both American and European manufactured curettes. Information
and ordering sharpening kits found here.

the manufacturer, seen under the electron scanning microscope. Arrows
indicate severe metallic deformities and wire edges extending from
the facial (F) and lateral (L) surfaces of the cutting edge itself.

Roll your mouse over these images to show views of a
badly worn curette after resharpening with our patented Honing ChannelTM
System. Arrows indicate an exact meeting of the facial (F) and lateral
(L) surfaces, and no wire edges at the cutting edge.

A new patented technology was recently evaluated in a research study
published in the July 2003, Volume 74, Number 7 issue of the
Journal of Periodontology. The research
publication clearly states the importance of this new finishing technology
for dental curettes and scalers and ultimately in the care provided to
patients worldwide. Previously, research reports compared unfinished
cutting edges on manufactured curettes to ultrasonic instrumentation
and other forms of root finishing technologies. These research studies
revealed no significant differences in the quality of the mechanical
root planing.

However, with this new Honing Channel™ Sharpening System from
Cutting Edge Technology LLC, hygienists and dentists are able to significantly
reduce
or eliminate
wire edges, and create extremely fine, smooth, sharp, consistent cutting
edges on their hand instruments. Ultimately, this finish on the cutting
edges
would be replicated on the root surface resulting in the smoothest possible
root surface in line with the current definition of clinical root planing
found in the 1996 World Workshops in Periodontology. Based upon the findings
in the study by Nemcovsky et al. further research comparisons may demonstrate
clinically significant biotherapeutic advantages over the other current
forms of mechanical root debridement technologies in line with the objectives
also listed in the 1996 World Workshops in Periodontics.

In this study by Nemcovsky et al., the Honing Channel™ Sharpening System
was reported to be easier to use and created finer cutting edges.

Sincerely,

(this patent along with the two earlier patents of 2000 and 2002
are available for licensing in other industries.)

Using the conical side of one of our patented sharpening
stones to easily reshape and smooth the facial surface of the instrument
from heel to toe. Now you can achieve perfectly sharp instruments
in less time, and with less effort!Detailed instructions found here

Here we have an instrument being drawn through the patented
honing channel, assuring that the shape will remain exactly the way
it was before you began. The end result is a repeatable sharpening
effort, and tools that are consistantly perfect every time!Detailed instructions found here

They are capable of cutting any metal and will
not wear out! The aluminum oxide particles (man-made sapphires)
are mixed with a special ceramic bonding agent and fired in sophisticated
ovens for as long as three days at temperatures in excess of 3,000° F.
The result is the creation of a sharpening stone which is made of the
second hardest naturally occurring substance. Our concept of sharpening
channels which selectively reshape and resharpen only the cutting
edges of curettes brings in a new era for instrument sharpening. It now
simplifies the entire sharpening procedure and permits non-licensed personnel
to learn to sharpen all types of curettes in less
than one hour of training. This includes the newer mini curettes
with reduced blade length. This can realize a significant savings in professional
time and money. Hygienists and dentists can now delegate the sharpening
procedure to a technician or assistant and have instruments sharpened
and ready for use ahead of time. Because the sharpening stones are fully
autoclavable, each surgery, curettage, and root planing kit can have individual
stones wrapped with full instrumentation. All of these are then sterilized
together for the planned procedure. Well sharpened instruments benefit
both the operator and the patient with less discomfort, less operator
fatigue, and less chair time.
